]]> Comment on Ramiro Ledesma Ramos: National Bolshevik (Part 1) by G. https://epeuthutebetes.wordpress.com/2021/09/29/ramiro-ledesma-ramos-national-bolshevik-part-1/#comment-24994 Sun, 29 Sep 2024 22:27:24 +0000 http://epeuthutebetes.wordpress.com/?p=20213#comment-24994 It is better to say what he was self described as: National Syndicalism. Franco was nothing of the sort, and Jose Antonio simply had another vision of National Syndicalism.

But to say he is National Bolshevik because of socialism is to assume all socialism is bolshevik. National Syndicalism and National Bolshevism are both very distinct, yet they are both socialist. In much the same way that the syndicalist tradition remains distinct from the marxist one.

Thanks for commenting. I would love to hear more about the challenges and successes of transposing classical curricula into an Indonesian key.

Perhaps they exist in neo-Confucianism and later schools as well, but I am unaware of it.

Thanks for writing it! It’s been a challenge trying to transpose curricula into a more culturally familiar key; thankfully that’s at least what the school is sort of about. Long, long road ahead, though.

Now if only such a Military Aristocracy can be restored. Not exactly the same of course. But perhaps conditions can take place to make that happen.

When the Western Roman Empire collapsed. Germanic peoples set up their respective Military Aristocracies over time.

The development of Heavy Cavalry by the Franks evolved in the Knightly Class of Europe.

Studying how they arose in the first place may give us clues.

I actually suspect that the loss of a robust military aristocracy is at least partly responsible for an ethical decline, including most likely a moral decline.

“The society that separates its scholars from its warriors, will have its thinking done by cowards and its fighting done by fools.”
-Thucydides

The Intellectuals of old like Socrates was himself a Hoplite. And Plato was a Strongman.

How many Chinese literati were physically fit and grounded in their physicality in dealing with the world rather than being lost in abstraction?

Christianity involves the Incarnation of God in a Physical Body. The joining of Heaven and Earth.

The Physical isn’t separate from the Spiritual:

“The Hebraic view of man as an animated body and its refusal to make any clear-cut division into soul and body militates against the making of so radical a distinction between material and spiritual, ceremonial and ethical effects.”
